CRE Inc. (President and COO: Tadahide Kameyama, Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo) has issued the 'Warehouse and Logistics Real Estate Market Report - March 2026 Edition,' summarizing current market trends for rental warehouses.
This report focuses on large-scale rental warehouses (3,000 tsubo or more) in the Tokyo, Kansai, Chubu, and Kyushu regions. Additionally, for small and medium-sized rental warehouses (less than 1,000 tsubo), the report leverages data from CRE-managed properties and member companies of the Japan Warehouse Master Lease Association to provide high-precision market analysis.
CRE plans to continue issuing these reports quarterly (Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, Oct-Dec).
### Market Report Summary
**Large-Scale Warehouses:**
* **Tokyo Area:** Vacancy rate 8.72% (-0.16pt). Strong demand continues to support the market despite increased supply, leading to a decrease in vacancy.
* **Kansai Area:** Vacancy rate 3.60% (-0.34pt). Robust demand maintains a supply-demand balance, resulting in lower vacancy.
* **Chubu Area:** Vacancy rate 17.28% (+2.09pt). Both supply and demand decreased, but supply remains dominant, causing vacancy to rise.
* **Kyushu Area:** Vacancy rate 11.18% (+0.63pt). Existing facilities remain steady, but new supply remains unabsorbed, leading to higher vacancy.
**Small and Medium-Scale Warehouses:**
* **Tokyo Area:** Vacancy rate 0.90% (+0.33pt). While the number of buildings decreased, an expansion in vacant area led to an overall increase in the vacancy rate.
